Connected, no internet

I'm a rookie and I know nothing about networks etc. So please talk in noobie terms. I have connected my nas to the back of the wireless router via ethernet cable, I can log in to the admin page and...

When looking at the screenshot I noticed the date on the nas was set to 2016.
Once setting that to the correct date all issues resolved.

Have you checked if you have Internet connection from your router and that other devices can connect to on the Internet? Is the ReadyNAS joined already on ReadyCloud? You have access over LAN so you just need to make sure that the router can connect on the Internet.

Try to reboot both NAS and router or if you have set a static IP on the NAS then change it back to DHCP. Hope to hear an update.

By default the NAS uses NTP to get current time over the internet. Did you change that setting when you set it up?

  No, I have never even noticed those details. It could be from the os re install I did a few days ago in an attempt to get router access.

    It shouldn't have changed that setting, but of course something odd might have happened.
    
    Click on the settings wheel next to "device time" in the web ui (system->overview).
    
    Confirm that the time zone is correctly set for your location, and also confirm that "synchronize clock with an internet server" is checked.
    
    If you aren't syncing with an internet time server, the time will gradually drift (though not by three years :smileyfrustrated: )
